African & African Diaspora Studies

The mission of the FIU African & African Diaspora Studies Program (AADS) is to develop its recognition as a leading Program in the interdisciplinary field of African & African diaspora studies, and related fields of inquiry. Our goal is to be internationally renowned, nationally competitive, and locally meaningful in order to contribute to the University’s objective of serving the people of South Florida, the state, the nation, and the international communities.

This project will support all programming and academic activities of the African & African Diaspora Studies Program, including certificate programs, MA and combined MA/PhD programs, and study abroad programs.
